Jennifer, or Jen as you may get to know her as, has been directing and supervising archaeological investigations internationally for 15 years and locally for nine.

Tasmania has long been part of her life and returning home to Hobart to lead the Extent Hobart office is something we're all very excited about.

Jennifer adds "Tasmania is such a beautiful place with a highly intact heritage landscape. It provides endless opportunities to really appreciate the past in a material and tangible way. I’m excited for, and greatly humbled by, the opportunity to work with the Tasmanian Heritage Council to continue to conserve the state’s heritage resources."
